The varied shows are not on for long, so don’t miss out on this big moment in many students’ lives, and the start of their professional careers.

There’s a number of exhibitions on over the next week although unfortunately the shows are not open on the bank holidays.

The main art, design and media show opens at the Graham Sutherland building on the corner of Cox Street tonight and is on over several floors until next Sunday. Media Production shows of its work in the former Odeon, the Ellen Terry building, tomorrow and Sunday.

The design and visual arts show starts tomorrow in Graham Sutherland and industrial design also runs in nearby Maurice Foss from tomorrow until next Sunday.

The Foundation Diploma art students’ varied work will also be on show – and remember George Shaw started with a foundation course at Coventry University.

* ADVANCE tickets for the Dinosaurs Uncovered exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry go on sale today at www.theherbert.org.

* FINANCIAL support for the arts is continuing to rise in Warwickshire, with generous members of the Warwickshire Art Fund contributing £4,500 in the past year, up from £500 five years ago.
